Is Andy Leei being made to fight like Wlad? Yesterday I caught Lee's fight with Thiam, as I did not get around to watching it till now, I know Lee has fought numerous times since then, but he doesn't look to have changed that much from the Vera fight, infact he fights more like Wlad these days. Lee, like Wlad, paws with the jab a lot, its like he scared to put it out there unless he knows there is a 100% chance its going to land, then when the opponent decides to come threw that jab, he will shoot the straight left hand to keep them in their place, problem I see with what he is doing, is that when he is looking for the perfect opportunity to jab, he becomes so concentrated that he becomes stiff/robotic, which will not work well against someone who uses lateral movement attacks him off the angles that movement creates, plus, he is trying to do everything from long range, which means he has a shorter stance, which means his head is in the air, which means he is open to left hooks. I dont see what they are doing with Lee is going to work, I mean Wlad is fighting guys that are simply not on his level due to a weak division, Lee probably wont be have that luxury at his weight.
That's Emanual's style for tall fighters, from Hearns, Lewis, Wlad, and now Lee. He also tried it out with Richard Hall, Vivian Harris, and Cintron.
